However, the category's ambiguous requirements can be used to the benefit of a foreign national early in their career. In this episode, Klasko EB-1 attorneys Anu Nair, Allie Dempsey, and Nigel James discuss how they would advise clients on strengthening their cases for success when applying for an EB-1B Outstanding Researcher or Professor. Klasko's distinguished EB-1 team discusses: What is an EB-1B and who is eligible? What are the criteria and requirements? How can professors use their teaching experience? How can researchers use their experience? What documents can be used for evidence? Are there any alternatives to an EB-1B?

As a recovering health system CEO, Klasko shares his perspective on "access" and its role in health equity, questioning why more health systems aren't competing to be the go-to place for 9-5'ers during evening hours. The discussion also touches on the approaching 2024 election, with Klasko highlighting a specific healthcare-related need he sees as priority one for bipartisan attention. Drawing from his experience as a team builder at Jefferson, Klasko reflects on the qualities he looks for in talent and shares what he misses most and least about leading a health system. Don't miss this engaging and informative conversation with one of healthcare's thought leaders.

Socrates tells us the unexamined life is not worth living. We can't improve and move forward without an understanding of where we are. Our guests today, Stephen Klasko, MD, MBA, and healthcare journalist Ken Terry, are on firm ground as they look to the future of healthcare. They have collaborated on a book, Feelin' Alright: How the Message in the Music Can Make Healthcare Healthier. Stephen K. Klasko, MD, MBA, is the former president of Thomas Jefferson University and CEO of Jefferson Health. Ken Terry is a veteran healthcare journalist and author who has written two other books on healthcare reform. Feelin' Alright leverages the emotional power of song lyrics to inspire healthcare executives to envision and build a more accessible, high-quality, and equitable healthcare system. Using music as a metaphor, the author encourages readers to examine what is problematic in the existing healthcare model and to take tangible steps toward a more consumer-centered healthcare experience. Each chapter features Klasko's multifaceted perspective and is anchored with a song that reflects the chapter's central themes. Topics explored include: Why consumers are starting to rebel against traditional healthcare. How technology can be used to transform healthcare through consumer empowerment. How medical education must evolve to prepare physicians for paradigm shifts. What radical changes are needed to decrease health inequity.

What will CEOs of healthcare organizations need to be successful leaders going forward? Find out from Steve Klasko, MD, executive in residence at General Catalyst, who delves into this and more—including the relationship between music and healthcare. Dr. Klasko will co-present a session about the evolving roles of healthcare CEOs during ACHE's 2023 Congress on Healthcare Leadership, March 20-23 in Chicago.

What can music teach us about the confusing, inspiring, sometimes frustrating world of healthcare? According to Dr. Stephen Klasko, our guest in this first StartUp Health NOW episode of 2023, the answer is a lot. Dr. Klasko was the President of Jefferson University and CEO of Jefferson Health during the COVID-19 pandemic. He launched JeffConnect, a pioneering initiative in telemedicine, and grew Jefferson Health from three hospitals to 14. He's the author of the new book How the Message in the Music Can Save Healthcare in America, in which he throws back to his roots as a radio DJ in order to help the reader think more creatively about the changes that need to take place in healthcare. Now, he's getting involved in the startup scene through his work as an executive in residence at General Catalyst. We wanted to bring Dr. Klasko in for a special session with our Health Transformers because he's solved healthcare problems at the highest level and understands just how interconnected this ecosystem really is. Bonus: he tells it like it is. The conversation, which took place in front a live audience of founders from the StartUp Health portfolio, was co-hosted by Elizabeth Dale, who worked closely with Dr. Klasko at Jefferson.   Learn more and connect with Health Transformers.

With a large wave of layoffs reported in November 2022, many H-1B visa holders worry about what their next steps should be. In this podcast episode, Anu Nair speaks with partner Bill Stock and senior associate Maria Mihaylova to discuss the potential impact of recent layoffs occurring in the different industries and how they affect H-1B employees. As concerns rise for H-1B employees, Klasko attorneys address these pressing questions on what you need to know in the case of an H-1B layoff. How long can an H-1B worker remain in the U.S. once they have been laid off? What happens if a new H-1B employer is found within the grace period? Is a change of status an option during the grace period? If unable to find a new employer within the grace period, what will be the cost of a return trip home? Are F-1, O-1, or J-1 visas an option to return to the U.S.? Do you get to keep your priority date if your previous employer filed your I-140 petition? Can you still get a green card approved if you no longer have a job offer with the I-140 employer? What are some self-sponsor options for people who are not able to find a petitioning employer?

On episode 6 of season 3, I continued my conversation with Dr. Stephen Klasko, who was the president of Thomas Jefferson University and CEO of Jefferson Health from 2013-2021. Under his leadership, Jefferson expanded from 3 hospitals to 18, and saw its revenue grow from $1.8 to $9 billion. Dr. Klasko was #2 on Modern Healthcare's “100 Most Influential Individuals”. He is also the co-author of 2020's UnHealthcare: A Manifesto for Health Assurance with Silicon Valley investor Hemant Taneja, and is currently an executive in residence at General Catalyst. In the second half of this two-part episode, Dr. Klasko and I discussed some of the systemic issues in U.S. Healthcare.  We started with a discussion of behavioral health, and how we will need to think differently about clinician/patient interactions to get at the root of the problem, starting with acting more proactively.   The antidote to much of what ails us, in Dr. Klasko's opinion, is healthcare at any address (i.e. Jefferson sent a nursing student  into the home of an asthma patient with 10 previous ED visits that resulted from asthma exacerbations. The nursing student discovered mold, and so Jefferson sent a handyman to fix it at a fraction of the cost of an inpatient admission). Nobody wakes up in the morning and says "I am going to telebank", and yet we talk about meeting people where they are (tele-health, homecare, etc.) as though it's novel.  Dr. Klasko's vision was that Jefferson would one day no longer be defined as a hospital system, but as a system that provided healthcare at any address. He asks, rhetorically, "Why would you want to be defined by the place where you've in essence failed to keep people healthy?" Despite advocating un-scaling, in order to innovate, Dr. Klasko freely admits that he grew Jefferson from 3 hospitals to 18. Yet, these mergers allowed him to obtain huge geographic proximity - nobody was more than 10 or 15 minutes from a Jefferson facility. As a result of facilities owned by the hospitals they bought, Jefferson was also able to obtain massive primary care networks, further contributing to the vision of healthcare at any address. We spoke about Tandigm's partnership with Penn and IBC, and what it will take for that partnership to bear fruits for the clinicians and patients involved. Finally, we discussed mergers and acquisitions, and the future of our healthcare system. Dr. Klasko can be found on Twitter and Linkedin.

They swap songs and look at the future of this revolution in healthcare.This episode is sponsored by General Catalyst.

On episode 5 of season 3, the first of this two-part episode, I spoke with Dr. Stephen Klasko about his unlikely journey from OBGYN to the president of Thomas Jefferson University and CEO of Jefferson Health from 2013-2021. Under his leadership, Jefferson expanded from 3 hospitals to 18, and saw its revenue grow from $1.8 to $9 billion. Dr. Klasko was #2 on Modern Healthcare's “100 Most Influential Individuals”. He is also the co-author of 2020's UnHealthcare: A Manifesto for Health Assurance with Silicon Valley investor Hemant Taneja, and is currently an executive in residence at General Catalyst. Dr. Klasko and I began the episode discussing the creation of the Jefferson Italy Center in Rome and partnership with Gemelli Hospital. Jefferson's presence in Italy highlighted one of the ironies of U.S. Healthcare - while we claim to be on the cutting edge of innovation when it comes to healthcare, we create serious barriers to entry. The CEO of Marriott Hotels in Italy can be a CEO in the U.S., but if you are the head of cardiovascular surgery at Shanghai university and you come to the U.S., we make you retake your residency. We also shun the use of alternative medicine, which is used to treat 2/3 of the world's population, because it doesn't fall into the familiar categories of surgery or drugs (Jefferson created the Marcus center for Integrative Health which is taking the best of care that happens around the world that is not just drugs and surgery).Jefferson's uniquely international presence and perspective served the health system well during COVID. Their Italian hospital  served as the canary in the coal mine, and allowed Jefferson to have a clear picture of the damage that COVID would ultimately cause long before most of the U.S,.  Jefferson had also invested $50 million into Telehealth in 2014 and maintained the pandemic preparedness team it had stood up when Ebola (almost) hit. We touched on the state-level licensure requirements and how much the emergency protocols reduced tensions around credentialing. The idea that someone might need a different debit card to pull money out in every state is ridiculous, and yet in healthcare, it is the status quo in credentialing because it often aligns with the vested interests of the incumbents.Dr. Klasko blames the system in its entirety for the fact that while predominantly underserved people died because they didn't get care during the pandemic, insurers quadrupled their net operating income because people they thought would get care died.

We will weep if by 2032 we haven't solved the neglect, stigma and lack of attention surrounding mental health and wellness, Dr. Klasko argues. He talks with Holly Maloney, an investor with General Catalyst, and Mark Frank, the CEO and co-founder of SonderMind, about entrepreneurial initiatives to address the inequities that plague healthcare today. They plan a different future to help people thrive, and swap songs on Episode #3.This episode is sponsored by General Catalyst. 

Dr. Stephen Klasko hosts two of the nation's leaders in addressing equity in healthcare, Dr. Toyin Ajayi of CityBlock and Ken Frazier of Merck and General Catalyst.

And they swap great songs as they re-imagine health assurance in 2032.This episode is sponsored by General Catalyst.

A pandemic should only happen once in a lifetime, but what if it doesn't.  Dr. Klasko provided an interesting thought exercise around what Jefferson Health might do during Pandemic 2030.  I hope all of healthcare looks at what we've learned, develop a vision for how this might have been better and start to fill the gaps so the experience for the next pandemic might be different.I also did a bunch of research and start this show with a rundown of COVID and the Vaccine distribution by the numbers.  Hope you enjoy.

Now that the 2020 presidential election is over, we have a new administration coming to the White House in January 2021. President-elect Biden has a lot on his plate on day one. With a raging pandemic, and a divided country, where does immigration policy fall on his list of priorities? What can he do to unwind Trump’s four years of restrictive actions? What can we expect Biden to implement in his first term as president? And can Trump pass any more restrictions in his final weeks as a lame-duck president? In this episode, Ron Klasko, Anu Nair, and Andrew Zeltner cover the various ways Trump rolled out some of the most restrictive immigration actions the U.S. has ever seen. In his 4 years in office, over 900 immigration policy restrictions were implemented, including large numbers of new regulations, more than 50 executive orders, and over 125 new forms and instructions. Over 100 legal challenges are pending. Significant regulations are still in process, as discussed by Klasko Immigration’s partner, Bill Stock, during his recent interview with Forbes. The Klasko employment-based immigration lawyers will discuss: Key executive orders, including visa and travel bans Key regulations, including proposed and final Policies and adjudications RFE rates and processing times Pending litigation What can Biden undo, and how quickly?

In this episode I speak with Dr. Stephen Klasko, passionate advocate for the transformation of healthcare and higher education, President and CEO of Thomas Jefferson University and Jefferson Health on his wakeup call of taking on all the naysayers who have told him that what he wants to do is impossible.

Welcome back for part 2! This episode further explores Klasko's vision of health assurance, an industry that focuses on consumer's health, and that is enabled through innovative partnerships between health care and technology organizations. Patient's expectations are shifting toward a system of care that is empathetic, communicative, creative, and responsive – those providers, policy-makers, payers, and other partners who align with these principles will be the winners in the race to value! Dr. Stephen Klasko is the President and CEO of Thomas Jefferson University and Jefferson Health. His newest book, co-authored with venture-capitalist Hemant Teneja, is a manifesto that advocates for bringing consumerism, affordability, and rational economic behavior to the healthcare sector. UnHealthcare: A Manifesto for Health Assurance is a declaration to usher in a new age of digital and mobile consumerism in the healthcare industry, and introduces the concept of “health assurance” – a gamechanger that would force a redesign of the system. His vision is for a consumer-centric, data-driven, cloud-based healthcare system designed to help us stay well: we would need as little “sick care” as possible. Episode bookmarks: 03:18 The FHIR Interoperability Standard and Blue Button are “necessary but not sufficient” to bring about widespread consumerism and democratization of health data 03:30 Consumers will eventually wake up when they “no longer feel like patients” 04:00 Consumers have way too much respect for the healthcare system because they are too forgiving when it fails 04:40 Patients always assume their doctor is the best, and doctors can take advantage of this by not being patient-centered 04:54 Dr. Klasko shares a personal story of a friend who always chooses the best service option in every transaction, but then naively chooses to have his heart surgery wherever the PCP tells him 06:10 Dr. Klasko shares an anecdote on how patients will not often heed the advice of a second opinion because of fear that their primary physician will judge them 06:40 How the younger generation will be more demanding as a health care consumer and how the younger physicians are embracing thus 08:05 Data interoperability is an issue where health policymakers have been “asleep at the wheel” 08:15 The World Economic Forum tells Dr. Klasko, “There were two industries that escaped the consumer revolution – banking and healthcare.  Now you are alone." 09:20 Dr. Klasko describes how nonsensical telehealth medical licensure restrictions are 09:45 Data and interoperability are unnecessarily limited by ridiculous and overly strict laws, including HIPAA. 09:59 “Data needs to be interoperable. It is just absolutely crazy that we have to get most of the data we need from insurance companies.” 10:21 “My view of the future is that the patient owns their own health data.” 10:30 Getting permission from doctors to share their own data is straight out of the 1970s 11:20 “Interoperability challenges between different EHR systems is another absurd reality.” 11:25 Commure is an example of an SSO, FHIR-layer, health assurance company which “overcomes the tyranny of the traditional EMR” 12:13 “Health assurance will require consumers demanding it, open interoperability standards, enlightened health policy, and entrepreneurs working with the healthcare system in a way they haven't before.” 13:20 Moral injury and suicide rates among doctors due to a monolithic, rigid and impersonal system of care 14:14 “Med schools choose doctors based on science GPA, MCATs, and organic chemistry grades…and then we wonder why doctors aren't more empathetic, communicative, and creative.” 14:45 Med Schools are based on an antiquated 1970's model that emphasizes memorization in an era before digital computing, iPhones, and AI 14:55 “When you select doctors on self-awareness, empathy, communication skills, and cultural competence,

Dr. Stephen Klasko is the President and CEO of Thomas Jefferson University and Jefferson Health. His newest book, co-authored with venture-capitalist Hemant Teneja, is a manifesto that advocates for bringing consumerism, affordability, and rational economic behavior to the healthcare sector.UnHealthcare: A Manifesto for Health Assurance is a declaration to usher in a new age of digital of mobile consumerism in the healthcare industry and introduces the concept of “health assurance” – a gamechanger that would force a redesign of the system. His vision is for a consumer-centric, data-driven, cloud-based healthcare system designed to help us stay well: we would need as little “sick care” as possible. This episode explores the principles behind the manifesto and health assurance. Built on open technology standards, empathetic user design, and responsible AI, the vision for health assurance will only be realized through creative partnership between professionals in traditional healthcare and technology companies.  As these two worlds of healthcare and technology innovation merge, we can transform our fragmented, expensive, and inequitable healthcare system into one of improved health and decreased cost. Join us as we explore the role of health assurance in the race to value!   Bookmarks: 05:37 “Health care has not only escaped the consumer revolution --we've lost touch with what patients really need.” 06:12 Dr. Klasko discusses what he learned from Steve Jobs and how he “changed the world” in 3 years 08:00 Jefferson Health and the “new math” of innovation and strategic partnerships 08:55 Partnership with Silicon Valley entrepreneur Hemant Teneja 09:12 “Mass production and economies of scale is giving way to mass personalization at scale” 09:36 Livongo and how it “treats people with diabetes, not as patients, but as people who that want to thrive without diabetes getting in the way”. 10:00 “Costly sick care will give way to affordable, personalized, and preemptive care with genomic sensors and AI-based digital therapies.  That will be the true revolution in healthcare.” 10:40 Health Assurance as an emerging movement towards consumer-centric, data-driven healthcare 11:12 How the Presidential election cycle only seemed to focus on how we pay for the expensive, fragmented, and inequitable system – not how we fundamentally disrupt and transform it 13:12 Dr. Klasko tells the story of the future pandemic of October 2030 and how Health Assurance stopped it in its tracks 15:25 The “Amazon moment” of healthcare and how it redefines competition (future competitors are those who can bring health to home) 16:03 Dr. Klasko discusses JeffConnect (the telemedicine platform used by Jefferson Health) 16:37 Current business models for providers, insurance companies, and pharma are dead! 17:37 The 4th Industrial Revolution of AI and its impact on the future of care delivery 18:43 The use of wearables in cardiology care 19:53 Moving away from the current sick care model and making the health system easier 20:25 “The secret sauce at Jefferson Health is that getting to people while they are people, and not patients.” 21:24 Consumer segmentation needed for patient-centeredness 22:32 The real revolution will take place when patients reach the “mad as hell, not going to take it anymore” moment 25:58 The consumer mistrust in FAANG (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google) to manage personal health data 26:23 Dr. Klasko provides his take on Haven Healthcare (the JV between Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway and JPMorgan Chase) 27:07 Healthcare disruption by startups should not be about moving fast and breaking things 27:40 Jefferson is moving entire digital innovation and consumer experience team to General Catalyst, a multi-billion dollar venture capital firm 28:25 “The future for the traditional healthcare ecosystem is going to be creative and strategic partnerships.”

The THCB Book Club is a discussion with leading health care authors, which will be released every month. And this is the first one! We kicked off with a new book from Hemant Teneja (VC at General Catalyst who has been writing many big checks lately) and Stephen Klasko (CEO at Jefferson Health System and one of the most unusual hospital system bosses in America). Their book is called “UnHealthcare: A Manifesto for Health Assurance” which is a how-to for creating a platform for a revolutionary future for health care. “UnHealthcare” is about a new concept called Health Assurance-- which Tenaja says is "an emerging category of consumer-centric, data-driven healthcare services that are designed to bend the cost curve of care and help us stay well.” Sitting in on the interview because we can't get rid of him was Glen Tullman from Livongo. (Just kidding, Glen!) He weighed in on how this connects with his new idea of Consumer Directed Virtual Care and the Teladoc-Livongo merger. In September the THCB Book Club will feature Jane Metcalfe with her 2020 book NEO.LIFE The original video recording of this interview is up on The Health Care Blog's YouTube Channel.

Nearly everyone is in agreement that healthcare is an industry that desperately needs transformative change. But the legacy technologies, interrelationships between providers and mayors, and other systemic issues typically keep such transformation from happening. One exception is Jefferson Health, which has transformed itself dramatically in dozens of ways in an extremely brief period of time, embracing various emerging technologies and reinventing the way they approach training clinicians and delivering care. My guest today is Dr. Stephen Klasko, CEO of Jefferson Health and one of Fast Company's most creative people. In this discussion we dig into how he went about transforming Jefferson into a nimble, tech enabled organization, how he managed to drive culture change so quickly to make these initiatives stick, and get into a number of fascinating, counter-intuitive initiatives he's spearheaded to facilitate that change.For more ideas on how to transform your own organization visit us at digintent.com.

Colleagues & Friends,This is the final episode of this exciting Spring 2019 podcast season.  I can’t imagine a more engaging interview to conclude with - one that truly exemplifies the purpose of ‘Creating a New Healthcare’.Our guest this week, Dr. Stephen Klasko, was recently ranked #6 in Modern Healthcare’s Top 50 ‘Most Influential Clinical Executives’. Last year, in 2018, he was ranked #2 in Modern Healthcare’s Top ‘100 Most Influential People in Healthcare’.  In 2018 he was also recognized as #21 in Fast Company’s ‘100 Most Creative People in Business’, as well as being awarded Philadelphia Entrepreneur of the Year.  Dr. Klasko, an obstetrician who has been the dean of two medical schools, is the President & CEO of Philadelphia-based Thomas Jefferson University and Jefferson Health. In this role, Dr. Klasko leads one of the nation’s fastest growing academic health institutions. His six year tenure has been based on a vision of re-imagining the future.  This interview was, by far, the most fast-paced I’ve experienced. It was a deluge of highly innovative initiatives and programs. A few of the items you’ll hear discussed include:The consumer segmentation and customization approach that Jefferson Health is taking - moving away from a 'one-size-fits-all' model of medical care experience.How Dr. Klasko radically introduced telehealth to Jefferson Health in 2013 - making it mandatory in every clinical division.The innovative way that Jefferson Health is reducing inappropriate ED visits within its own self-insured workforce. The “Healthcare with No Address” approach that is completely reframing where and how people will receive and experience healthcare at Jefferson.The digitally-enabled, consumer-oriented initiatives such as the “match.com” app for young women seeking an obstetrician.The ground-breaking partnerships Jefferson Health has made, including one with the third-leading ‘fashion & design’ university in the country.  Some of the entrepreneurial ventures Jefferson Health is engaged in, including a hemp-based wearable that Dr. Klasko believes will usurp Apple Watch’s biometric monitoring.  Dr. Klasko is one of those courageous leaders who understand that we need to quickly catch up with other industries in terms of treating people like valued customers and respected consumers. I say “courageous” because he not only understands it, he demands it. He also understands that we need to customize care, not by disease or payment, but by patient needs and preferred engagement. He and his colleagues are attempting to wrap healthcare around patients rather than forcing patients to wrap themselves around the healthcare system. He is unapologetic in repeatedly pointing out how the current system is grossly inadequate. And rather than demonize new entrants and disruptors, he embraces them - partnering, learning, emulating and synergizing.  From my perspective, Dr. Klasko is nothing less than a healthcare revolutionary. It is a bit ironic that he is the leader of a healthcare system whose namesake was an American revolutionary and one of the founding fathers - President Thomas Jefferson. I have to think that President Jefferson would have greatly appreciated and approved of the legacy that Klasko is creating. This moment in healthcare history is a revolutionary inflection. As Dr. Klasko states, “It’s important for CEO’s and others to recognize that when an industry is going through a once-in-a lifetime change, the absolute biggest risk is doing things the way you did them before.” I can’t think of a better note or more important call to action on which to end this season. I hope you’ve enjoyed this remarkable Spring 2019 season of ‘Creating a New Healthcare’.  From my perspective it’s been an extraordinary line-up. I would encourage you all to take the next couple of months to catch up on episodes that you might have missed. It’s essentially a Masters Class series in healthcare innovation, entrepreneurship and leadership. We will resume the podcast in early September and have another amazing lineup in store for you!Until then, Be Well!Zeev Neuwirth, MD

[fl_builder_insert_layout id="3603"] Show Notes: Health leaders need to recognize that the industry is going through large-scale transformation and start building for that future today The health industry needs leaders who challenge and transform current delivery models and can drive the shift to providing care within the community Partnering with organizations both within and outside the health ecosystem can lead to innovative solutions to addressing the social determinants of health, such as food insecurity The next generation of health leaders need to be trained to develop a population health mindset to create better value for patients and improve the health of the community

There has been an abrupt and dramatic shift in the EB-5 market with Chinese investors waiting over ten years in line for a visa, and Indian foreign nationals facing immigration roadblocks at every other turn, including the H-1B and EB-1 visa options. This has led to a spike in Indian investors’ interest in the EB-5 visa program in the last year and a half. As a new market, there are many misconceptions and frequently asked questions from investors. In this episode, Anu Nair, a partner at Klasko Immigration, sits down with Daniel Lundy, also a partner at Klasko; Jessica DeNisi an associate at Klasko Immigration; plus Jeff DeCicco and Abhinav Lohia both from CanAm Enterprises, to answer the common questions and issues, so investors can better focus their time on reaching their immigration goal: a green card. A special thank you to Jeff DeCicco and Abhinav Lohia of CanAm for taking the time to join the Klasko EB-5 Team on this episode of Statutes of Liberty.

Stephen K. Klasko, MD, MBA is President and CEO of Thomas Jefferson University and Jefferson Health. Prior to joining Jefferson, Dr. Klasko was CEO of USF Health and Dean of the Morsani College of Medicine at the University of South Florida. He also served as Dean of the College of Medicine at Drexel University and CEO of Drexel University Physicians. He is Editor-in-Chief of the journal Healthcare Transformation, author of The Phantom Stethoscope: A Field Manual for an Optimistic Future in Medicine, and a sought-after speaker on the transformation of clinical practice, healthcare information technology and physician leadership. In this conversation, Stew and Stephen talk about innovation in healthcare. Stephen is convinced that doctors need to transform the way they interact with patients in order to transform medicine. Currently, the medical profession is competitive, hierarchical, and non-creative. Doctors lack the empathy, teamwork skills, and creativity needed to address issues many patients face. Stephen is working to change this culture at Jefferson Medical School by admitting medical students for not only GPA and MCAT scores but Emotional Intelligence scores. This effort will result in better outcomes for patients and harmony between work and the rest of life for doctors. Listen and learn about these and other innovative approaches to preparing the next generation of doctors and what these changes might mean for your life.

Last week, Senators Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Bill Cassidy (R-La.) introduced a bill that seeks to repeal and overhaul major portions of the Affordable Care Act. Meanwhile, the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions is working on a bipartisan legislative package that aims to stabilize the health insurance markets.
